This first one is a couple of weeks old, but it still makes me cringe, so of course I want to share it with you. These are Valentine's Day flowers I saw at the grocery store, but I wouldn't personally call this an upgrade.
It's just my personal preference, but I don't like glitter sprayed on poinsettias at Christmas, nor do I like roses heavily encrusted with glitter and odd white dust for Valentine's Day. I wonder if they sold many of these?
This second one is a bit weird, but I've never noticed this before. I was leaving Walmart, happened to look up at a flock of seagulls, and wondered about these clear "whiskers". They are on the upper edges of the yellow asterisk and all the white letters.
But then I noticed the probable reason for the whiskers ...
... to keep seagulls from roosting. Nobody wants to see Walmart * covered in seagull poop!
The last one is not weird, just interesting and nice. Justin visited a winery and brought me a present.
Sixty percent dandelion, 30% orange, and 10% raisin is definitely an escape from the normal! It's delicious, so much so that I had to have two glasses and keep myself from finishing the bottle.
Head on over to Carole's for more Three on Thursday, and possibly an escape from the normal!
I am not a fan of glitter on ANYTHING. It gets everywhere and you can never get rid of it. And it's a major pollutant! I feel bad for those plants.
ReplyDeletethat is a mixed bag! I'm glad you ended on the happy note :-)
ReplyDeleteWe have those spikes on our windows at work - it is in fact to keep birds from roosting there and building up a nice layer of poop.
ReplyDeleteThe more you know. :-)
I am with you in thinking those roses are a downgrade! What the heck?? And, that wine... how interesting! Where on Justin find that? I will have to keep my eyes open for that around here!
ReplyDeleteThat wine sounds DEEEEEElicious!!!
ReplyDeleteIn Florida we saw those metal "whiskers" a lot.
Oh yuck to the flowers (I wouldn't even call them flowers at this point). I've never seen the whiskers but they sure do make sense. And that wine! Your have a very sweet son Bonny.
ReplyDeleteGlitter on ANYTHING makes me cringe. I put any glittered card I get directly into the trash can. Glittered roses! I feel SO BAD for the rose! Whiskers keep the pigeons off in our neck of the woods. Oh my, I would love to try a glass of your wine, but I'm not sure you'd share. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm OK with a little glitter if used in good taste and with extreme restraint -- sometimes it adds just the right bit of bling & sparkle. This is NOT any of the above. Yuck. So ugly.
ReplyDeleteHaha. Who knew Walmart had whiskers?? (Now we do! Thanks, Bonny.)
Whoa. Interesting vino!
I do like a little bling now and then -- but NEVER ON FLOWERS!!! Those glitter-encrusted roses are an abomination. That wine sounds interesting - and tasty. Apparently my grandfather made dandelion wine regularly. Family lore says it was better than his peach wine. I wouldn't know, as I never was allowed to sample either. . .
ReplyDeleteThe wine sounds delicious but those roses! Why would anyone do that?? Although I'm not into glitter, I can see maybe glittering just the very edge of the petals for a hint of bling but... Good Lord! Those roses are awful!
ReplyDeleteThose flowers are truly cringe-worthy. I saw some much like them in my grocery. Just think about all that stuff shedding all over the place - yuk. The wine sounds so good! And yes, no poop on the signs, please, to drop all over the customers - ha ha!
ReplyDeleteglitter gets everywhere! Love the label on the wine :)
ReplyDeleteIm with you on the glitter..its is just a mess
ReplyDeleteIt seems nobody here likes glitter, at least not on their flowers!
